"Hi, I'm Dr. Bruce Dornn from Eye-Revive.ca… a common question in my office is what are styes? And, what causes styes?

One of these glands will get blocked or infected and it'll back up and you’ll have a large… at first painful lump on the eyelid margin - the eye will generally swell and it can be quite painful at first.
